She delivered the speech at a cyberbullying prevention summit, held just outside of Washington in Rockville, Md., where she was joined by representatives from various tech platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Google.

The US president wrote that Robert Mueller, the man leading the Russian election meddling probe, was "disgraced and discredited" and called John Brennan, the former CIA director turned prominent critic, the agency's worst leader in history.
